Background and Objective: This study aimed to validate the Intelligent Educational Leadership Scale in schools.
Method: This was a descriptive-survey study. A researcher-made questionnaire was developed based on a qualitative model derived from grounded theory, comprising 6 main dimensions and 14 components. The statistical population included principals and teachers of schools in Pakdasht County during the 2025-2026 academic year, from which 219 individuals were selected using convenience sampling. Content validity was assessed using CVR and I-CVI indices, and construct validity was examined through exploratory factor analysis (with oblimin rotation) and second-order confirmatory factor analysis using the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. Instrument reliability was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha and composite reliability.
Findings: Exploratory factor analysis results confirmed a 14-factor structure with 49 items, collectively explaining 74.78% of the variance. Second-order confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the model had acceptable fit. All path coefficients between the main construct and the six dimensions were significant (p<0.001). Reliability of all constructs was confirmed with Cronbach’s alpha and composite reliability above 0.70, and convergent validity with AVE above 0.50. Discriminant validity was also established using the Fornell-Larcker criterion.
Conclusion: The Intelligent Educational Leadership Questionnaire, with 49 items and 14 components organized into 6 main dimensions, is a valid, reliable, and robust instrument for measuring intelligent educational leadership in Iran’s education system. This instrument can be utilized for principals’ self-assessment, designing professional development programs, and conducting future research in the field of educational leadership.
